Flirty Little Secret by Jessica Lepe
4.0

I really enjoyed this debut from Jessica Lepe. I loved the "secret identity" friendship between Lucy and Fletcher. As someone who has been active on social media, I definitely related to the feeling of trying show the perfect persona online, while struggling with my mental health offline.

I loved the side characters - not only the friends, but the sisters & the families in general. They felt real, even if the conflict between Fletcher and his dad felt like it wrapped up a little easily.

I also really appreciated the strong emphasis put on mental illness & neurodivergent. I'm 100% in the group that is encouraging more books about mental illness & neurodivergent because it's time to normalize that.

I can't wait to read more books by this author. Huge thank you to Forever and NetGalley for the E-ARC and huge thank you to Forever for a physical ARC in exchange for my honest review.
